⭐⭐⭐ Was I hooked by that book? Yes. The hero is really more of an anti-hero. Don’t expect any softness there.

MY THOUGHTS

Alex has a mysterious past and he is driven by revenge. He is very intense and controlling. In a different kind of novel he would be the dark, brooding vampire. But, as the author warns us, he is not a nice guy. So, be forewarned. Ava is bubbly and have a lot of enthusiasm for life. She is also plagued by her past, and she doesn’t remember most of her childhood. And in a completely unexpected twist, their pasts connect with a bang.

Ava is a very likable character and Alex isn’t. Ava recognizes that there is a dark side to Alex, but she just couldn’t stay away. And once Alex turned his focus on her, there was no escape.

Alex did help Ava overcome a lot of her fears and it showed some glimpses of caring and kindness in him.

The writing is very compelling. Even though I didn’t like Alex all that much, I really wanted to see where it was going and I really wanted him to get closure for the things that happened to him. This book covers some very dark and disturbing issues and may take you places you did not expect at all. The chemistry between the two of them will leave you hot and breathless. It is truly a twisted kind of love, but it works for them.

Thank you to the author for providing me with a copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This is the start of a new series called Twisted. I can’t wait to read the rest.
